Overview
- Paramount announced at CinemaCon in Las Vegas that a new World War Z movie is in development.
- Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment is involved in production, but the studio has not said if Pitt will return on screen.
- No director, cast, or production schedule has been named, and reports of pre‑production and a possible 2027–2028 release remain unconfirmed.
- The project returns after Paramount canceled a prior sequel in 2019 following years of stalled efforts that at points involved David Fincher and J.A. Bayona.
- The 2013 original earned about $540 million worldwide and is the highest‑grossing zombie film, which explains the franchise’s value to the studio and theaters.
